X2 Wheel specs.

I was browsing through a Wheel and tire catalog on a newstand a couple of days ago and they had a fitment chart for 2011 BMW's.

No idea if it was accurate but they listed the 2011 X3 F25 chassis as using a 5 X 120 bolt circle (same as almost every BMW made in the last 20 years), but with a 74.1 mm centering bore. That dimension is the same as the 2010 X5 and is not the same as most other BMWs which are 72.56 mm. Acceptable offset was listed at 35 to 42mm (positive).

That means that aftermarket wheels that use a centering ring should work (with the appropriate ring), but wheels designed for other BMWs that are bored for a direct fit on the 72.56 hubs will not fit.

Something to keep in mind if you're thinking of buying a set of used wheels.

Again, I haven't confirmed the center bore size, but when I get a chance I'll pull a wheel and measure it.
